I love Gibson guitars. Own a bunch of ‘em. I wonder if this is somehow payback for the Gibson lawsuits of Japanese manufacturers from the ‘70s and the Paul Reed Smith suit of a few years ago. While making some of the very best guitars, Gibson can be kind of snotty at times.

I have a Gibson F-9 Mandolin. It has a spruce/maple body, ebony fingerboard and bridge, with a bone nut. Not sure if any of that is illegal under the Lacey Act of 1900. How do I prove where that wood came from if I'm going over the border with it?

I'm pissed! Can you imagine the feds just NOW enforcing this very old legislation. Sheesh. Talk about hard up if you're attacking the music world. This stinks out loud.
